THE MEDIATOR ROLE OF PERSONALITY TRAITS IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MEDICAL AND DENTISTRY STUDENTS' ANXIETY AND ANATOMY ACHIEVEMENT - GENITAL MODULE EXAMPLE
Journal Title: Kocatepe Medical Journal - Year 2024, Vol 25, Issue 3
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: While studying the anatomy of the genital system in medical education, students may feel embarrassed and anxious due to the anatomical features of this system. This feeling of anxiety, combined with students' personality characteristics, can negatively affect their academic success. In light of this, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether personality traits play a mediating role in the effect of anxiety on anatomical success. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The sample of the study consists of Ankara Medipol University Medicine and Dentistry 2nd year students. In the study, the relationship between students' academic achievement in genital system anatomy learning and their anxiety and personality traits was investigated. RESULTS: While 64.5% of the participants were female and 58.1% were medical students, 91.1% were Turkish citizens. There was a significant increase in the c´ coefficient (B=-.197, p=0.28) indicating the predictive power of anxiety on anatomy success. It was also found that personality factor did not play a mediating role between anxiety and anatomy achievement. CONCLUSIONS: As a result of the analysis, it was determined that trait anxiety directly affected anatomy success. When the personality trait was added to the system as a mediator, it was determined that it did not create any mediation role. In this direction, short trainings can be given to the students of the Faculty of Medicine so that they can better define themselves when they start the faculty, and their personal awareness can be increased.
